Redskins owner Daniel Snyder: ‘We feel good about the future’

Redskins owner Daniel Snyder finally has his franchise quarterback in Robert Griffin III, and he’s feeling quite good about it.

“It’s obviously exciting for everybody, and it’s a big deal,” Snyder said at Redskins Fan Appreciation Day at team headquarters Saturday afternoon. “We’re thrilled with him as a person and what he stands for as a Redskin. It’s exciting for all Redskins Nation.”

Snyder spoke to the Redskins media corps for the first time in more than a year. The session lasted about 90 seconds.

He continues to look forward, and even expressed some patience, after four consecutive last-place finishes in the NFC East division.

“Everything takes time, as you guys know,” Snyder said. “We’re excited to have [Griffin], and with Coach [Mike] Shanahan, everything we’ve built right now, we feel good about the future.”
